Before you begin consider these questions:
Which users will be using the provisioning software?
Do you plan to create an account for each user or create a general user account that users will share?
Do you want to grant different privileges to different users? Restrict certain users from performing certain operations?
The table below will help you plan your management of users and groups.

Which users will be using the system? Will users need individual accounts or generic accounts that they will share? |
Define each user account you plan to use. |
Will different groups of users be accessing the provisioning software? Would it be convenient to define user groups with different access privileges, rather than assign privileges on a user-by-user basis? |
Define user groups and use the permissions assigned to each group to control permissions for users. (All the users in a group receive the privileges granted to that group.) |
